THE KINGDOM ESSENTIAL ACTS: ENSURING AND ASSURING – GRACIOUSNESSS AND GRACEFULNESS!
There’s every cause to always GIVE THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBERING towards the graciousness and gracefulness of the bestowed – endowment and enduement – of the three essential acts that keeps us and others afloat and in leverage, in our services to advance the kingdom cause of our God, and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in Christ Jesus stead.
And these BESTOWED graciousnesss and gracefulness essential acts are:
* The WORK of FAITH
* The LABOUR of LOVE
* The PATIENCE of HOPE
It’s worth pondering about these essential acts, as a measure to yourself in the light of the scriptures, to indicate if you are indeed standing assured on the graciousnesss and gracefulness of God in Christ Jesus, in your kingdom services, as they are the essential acts of your determination – and worth giving thanks, prayers and remembering in the journey of grace.
This thus means that, you should let your WORK be governed by FAITH, your LABOUR be governed by LOVE and your PATIENCE be governed by HOPE; otherwise, you may get weary, be burnt out and probably give up, along the way of your Kingdom services, by the challenges and sometimes enormous tasks that may betides you therein.
And if you’ve misfired without measures before now or otherwise, it’s time to awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its called day, to fulfil purpose as assigned in the graciousnesss and gracefulness of the essential acts of measure of your Kingdom services. And every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord as you take a step toward an onward and upward trajectory of the work of faith, labour of love and patience of hope respectively.
I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our PRAYERS; 3 REMEMBERING without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your ELECTION of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine.
“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the GREATEST of these is LOVE” 1 Corinthians 13:13/Emphasis Mine.
“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your WORK and LABOUR of LOVE, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have MINISTERED to the saints, and DO MINISTER. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12.
“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation . . .” Hebrews 3:7-19.

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS: IT’S IN THE KNOWING THAT YOUR – WORK, LABOUR AND PATIENCE – ARE NOT IN VAIN!
There is sufficient cause as Believer’s in Christ Jesus, to remain STEADFAST, UNMOVEABLE and ABOUNDING in the God’s Kingdom cause and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in order to avoid labouring for vain, in your path of doing life and living godly in the Lord; and more importantly, as you keep on keeping on, labouring on the gracious and graceful rewarding kingdom purpose for you, as you fulfil the given assignment meaningfully, in Christ Jesus, as it’s written:
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, always ABOUNDING in the WORK of the Lord, forasmuch as ye KNOW that your LABOUR is not in VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58.
There is the need and cause in Christ Jesus, for us as the reborn of God, to always give THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBRANCE on the behalf of others as Apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians. This is important and for the essence of the three gracious and graceful vitality acts of good deeds, as you do life and live godly, in the Lord God and to fulfil purpose in His Kingdom advancement, and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay. These vitality acts are as written in the holy writ:
“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our PRAYERS; 3 REMEMBERING without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 KNOWING, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine
And from the above scripture, in respect to the essence of GIVING THANKS, the act of PRAYERS and the cause for REMEMBRANCE, we can deduce the fellowing in context:
* The (Your) Work of Faith
* The (Your) Labour of Love
* The (Your) Patience of Hope
You need to give THANKS to God always for you and others about you, as you take each passing day step – to advance the CAUSE of God’s Kingdom Business and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. It’s a gracious and graceful synergy to keep one focus as God’s ambassador and representative on this side of the heavenly in the midst of the challenging and difficult times.
Except otherwise, you then need to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scripture if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful Kingdom acts of the Lord God. And wherein otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its day when you need to work and walk in the grace that WORTH REMEMBERANCE. And knowing that every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord.
I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is Love” 1 Corinthians 13:13 (Emphasis Mine).
“For God is not UNJUST (UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL) so as to forget your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in ministering to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to show the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] SLUGGISH (SLOTHFUL), but [will instead be] IMITATORS (FOLLOWERS) of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 Amplified (Emphasis Mine).
“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be HARDENED through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made PARTAKERS of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence STEDFAST unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, HARDEN not your hearts, as in the provocation” Hebrews 3:7-15.

GOD’S LIGHT ON OUR MIDDAY: TO SAVE US FROM THE SELF/RELIGIOUS ZEALOT PURPOSE INSTEAD OF GOD’S DIVINE PURPOSE!
“At MIDDAY, O king, I saw in the way a LIGHT from heaven, above the BRIGHTNESS of the sun, SHINING round about me and them which journeyed with me” Acts 26:13.
At MIDDAY, the Sun is at its best, brightening and illuminating as many reachable places. In some TIME ZONE’S, you can’t directly look upward on the Sun at MIDDAY because of the intensity of the beam of light that it’s glowing, radiating, reflecting and illuminating upon such places. It was in such atmosphere that God chose to show and beam the superiority and illumination of His divine Sun light of righteousness over humanity Sun beam of light.
It’s time to let God shine His light at Midday on you, especially if you are unsure and thinks you are walking wrongly and doing life on assumptions and or foolishness in where you’ve found yourself at the moment. Sometimes one becomes so zealous and no knowledge, and full of knowledge and no understanding. Hence, no PURPOSEFUL living. It takes wisdom to live PURPOSEFULLY in God’s timeless timeline sphere.
When the zealous/zealot religious Saul had an encounter with divinity at MIDDAY, he became Apostle Paul. It took God’s “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” – JESUS CHRIST – to outshine the humanity MIDDAY light on Apostle Paul to take him out of his STAND as a RELIGIOUS zealot purposeful person called Saul, to God’s gracious DIVINE purpose person called Apostle Paul.
“But unto you that FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) my name shall the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS arise with HEALING in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall” Malachi 4:2 Emphasis Mine.
And there are many today, in their zealousness to please God, have gone about establishing their own purposeful RIGHTEOUS cause and not after God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of Christ Jesus. Know full well this day, that it’s only God’s purpose that can make all things work together for our good in all circumstance of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.
“For ye have heard of my CONVERSATION in time past in the Jews’ RELIGION, how that beyond measure I PERSECUTED the church of God, and WASTED it: 14 and PROFITED in the Jews’ RELIGION above many my equals in mine own nation, being more EXCEEDINGLY ZEALOUS of the TRADITIONS of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, who SEPARATED me from my mother’s womb, and CALLED me by his grace” Galatians 1:13-15.
“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them RECORD that they have a ZEAL of God, but NOT ACCORDING to knowledge. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and GOING ABOUT to ESTABLISH their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For CHRIST is the END of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.
It’s time to let DIVINITY to SHINE on your earthly affairs if you want to run without sweat and stress. Allowing God’s set “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” TIMELESS timeline on your “MIDDAY” TIMED timeline, will ensure you live to fulfill PURPOSE with God in Christ Jesus stead, meaningfully in LIFE and GRACE. Amen.
Get connected to God’s SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – JESUS CHRIST and all will be well again and again. And all things will turn around at your midday into God’s day in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his Purpose. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.
“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the RIGHTEOUSNESS of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

BE DEFINED BY GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS – A RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD!
Let your LEGACY of doing life and living godly be defined by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] as Jesus Christ presence and experience in humanity was marked by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, in order to ensure and be assured of God’s ever ANOINTED presence with Him to stay above All and above only.
The Kingdom of God is consummated with a SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and Jesus ensures that He loves RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] and hated wickedness, in order to be assured that He earn God’s approval instead of men’s applaud and hype – [Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15].
Don’t you cherished such sphere and realm of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead? [Matthew 6:33 (Luke 12:31].
And if you desired to live and be ABOVE ONLY – it’s not by mouth-talking it – you just have to ensure and be assured that you are standing on God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 7 You love RIGHTEOUSNESS and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS” Psalms 45:6-7.
“And of the ANGELS He says: “Who makes His ANGELS spirits And His MINISTERS a flame of fire.” 8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS” Hebrews 1:7-9/NKJV.

WELCOME TO MONTH MAY 2024: MONTH OF EXPLORING, EXPRESSING AND ENACTING – “FAITH IN GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS” IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
“But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SANCTIFICATION, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that GLORIETH, let him GLORY in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.
The Month MAY is the FIFTH month of the Year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars; and it’s the THIRD month of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month MAY is a month of SPRING in the Northern Hemisphere and while it’s AUTUMN in the Southern Hemisphere. Month MAY, been the FIFTH [number 5] month, thus speaks of PERFECTING and PERFECTION which is reckoned to WHOLENESS, MATURITY, COMPLETENESS in BLESSEDNESS – just as the other numbers of 3, 7 and 9 has significance and have scriptural implications in the Christian Biblical faith-based on such numerical number’s and countings; and Month MAY, being of the numeric number 5 of the year calendar, indicates an opportunity in context of the Month MAY theme, for us to explore and express our – “FAITH ON GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS” IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. And may we stir up and harness graciously and gracefully this stand in grace, in order to enact, authenticate and actualised the FULNESS of God in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus; This will help to ensure and assure us in fulfilling God’s purpose for us in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
For the BLESSEDNESS of God is only tangible and in our reality when we are exercising, executing and expressing “FAITH IN GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS” in Christ Jesus stead. And God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus is without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to all irrespective. And with God, there’s no difference to all in His righteousness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“For Christ is THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to EVERY ONE that BELIEVETH. 5 For Moses describeth THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, That the man which doeth those things shall LIVE by them. 6 But the RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the mouth CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:4-13.
And the BLESSEDNESS of God is PURE – meaning it’s incorruptible, irreplaceable and irreversible and priceless; and it can’t be counterfeited and it gives the enabling to fulfill God’s purpose to all irrespective – [Romans 8:28; Philippians 4:8; Proverbs 10:22; Matthew 6:19-23].
And through this Month MAY, I will be exploring matters that will enable you to have “FAITH ON GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS” in Christ Jesus stead, that will make you lift up your justified holy hands without shame, fear, wrath, doubt, inferiority and self pity and cowardice and such like, as it’s written:
“I desire therefore that in every place men should pray, without anger or quarreling or resentment or doubt [in their minds], lifting up holy hands” 1 Timothy 2:8/AMP Classic Edition.
Under God, I welcome you to Month MAY, wherein we can take our stand on our justified righteous stand in Christ Jesus, to rule and reign in life on this side of heaven by our God in His BLESSEDNESS.

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they BEING IGNORANT of God’s righteousness, and seeking to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not submitted to THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto RIGHTEOUSNESS, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the JEW and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is RICH unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED”.

“For I am NOT ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ, for it is THE POWER of God to SALVATION for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD is REVEALED from faith to faith; as it is written, “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH” Romans 1:16-17.
“For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS will REIGN in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in JUSTIFICATION of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be MADE righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21/NKJV.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 NOW then, we ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He MADE Him who KNEW NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, that we might BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV.

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE: THE EAGLE CHARACTERISTICS!
“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, FLUTTERETH over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord ALONE did LEAD him, and there was NO STRANGE GOD with him.” Deuteronomy 32:11-12.
The EAGLE is a large bird of prey with a massive hooked bill and long broad wings for soaring [gliding], and known and noted for its keenness of great sights [sightedness – insights and foresights] – which indicates it as a bird of vision, and of size, strength and with a powerful soaring flight. Eagles are a symbol of beauty, bravery, courage, honour, pride, determination and grace.
“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord CALLED unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself.” Exodus:193-4
The WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR indicates the splendour, wonderful and elegant display with simplicity in the NURTURE and NATURE of the Eagle. This is what the scripture of Proverbs 30:18-19 described of this great, wonder and splendour of the magnificent bird – EAGLE.
“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: THE WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid’’ Proverbs 30:18-19.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: THE WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid’’ Proverbs 30:18-19.
“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, fluttereth over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.
“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR TREASURE unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of PRIESTS, and an HOLY nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-6.
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 ye also, as lively stones, are built up a SPIRITUAL house, an HOLY priesthood, to offer up SPIRITUAL sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which BELIEVE he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW forth the PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of DARKNESS into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past WERE not a PEOPLE, but are NOW the PEOPLE of God: which had not OBTAINED mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM!
“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.
In Christ Jesus, NO CONDEMNATION means – NO CONDEMNATION to the believing one in Him, knowingly and unknowingly. For GOD is bound by His WORD. And NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from SELF condemnation, demonic power and cohorts CONDEMNATION, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing CONDEMNATION and any of such like. And it’s upon this knowing and understanding, that Apostle Paul was very strong in His conviction and writings to the Romans Christians in questioning some elements of thoughts that held them in bondage instead of living free in Christ Jesus as it’s written:
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED NOT his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY ANY THING to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us . . . 37 NAY, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:31-34.
Being MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, makes and sets the believing one in Him to a platform of living by the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And that law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, sets and makes one FREE indeed in God’s pendulum of life and grace against any form of CONDEMNATION.
Its true that the law of gravity that operates on the pulling forces concept, that when things are thrown up they are bound to fall down gravitationally. But it’s also true that by the law of upthrust, aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences buoyancy in waters. Hence it’s a high time to know that they is a higher law that overcomes the law of and to sin, and it’s called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This is the law of the Spirit to make you live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. The HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations and such like.
Therefore, being born of God in Christ Jesus, gives one access to God and qualifies one to access the rights and privileges of redemption, justifies one from all forms of CONDEMNATION, delivers one from the clutches of Satan and cohorts, transfers and translates one into the kingdom principles that governs the realms of God – Hallelujah! And thus, as in many SCRIPTURAL TRUTH for the New Creation in Christ Jesus, this is what being MORE THAN CONQUERORS entails in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to THYSELF before God. HAPPY is he that CONDEMNETH NOT HIMSELF in that thing which he ALLOWETH. 23 And he that DOUBTETH is DAMNED if he eat, because he eateth not of FAITH: for WHATSOEVER is not of FAITH is sin” Romans 14:21-23.
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
“Giving THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ PENALTY].” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified.
“Therefore, if ANYONE is IN Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their TRESPASSES to them, and has COMMITTED to us the WORD of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who knew NO sin to be sin FOR us, that we might BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV.
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE . . .36 If the Son therefore shall MAKE you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed” John 8:31-32, 36.
“But ye ARE not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God DWELL in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be IN you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE) your MORTAL BODIES (FIVE SENSES) by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).
“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime SUBJECT to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.
“Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.
